Photo printer or online printing?

[Shadowness]

Im getting my new camera soon and im gonna want to make some good quality pics. Ive seen a canon PIXMA IP5000 printer for ?120 ($220) This looks awesome, its got 1pl size droplets!
The alternative is to use online printing, whereby u upload your photos and there printed and sent to you. The best site ive seen for this is http://www.photobox.co.uk/
Which do yo think would be the wiser choice and cheaper in the long run?

I don't have any expierence with online printing companies, but ink for home printers is really expensive. But with a home printer, you can mess around or print over and over again if you make a mistake. I don't know about the durability of home printed pictures though.
